Mainland
Meanwhile
on the Mainland
after
fleeing in defeat,
learning
villages are destroyed,
loved
ones either killed
or
enslaved.

Bonjour cher Anthony,
ReplyDeleteMa santé m'a un peu éloignée de ces délicieux moments où je viens admirer tes magnifiques dessins. Je refais un peu surface ! et aujourd'hui, c'est un délice que de découvrir tout ce que j'avais manqué.
Ton "écriture" me ravit toujours autant et j'aime cette vie que tu apportes dans chacun d'eux.
Pardon si je tutoie plutôt que de vouvoyer.
Dans le dernier dessin, je suis fascinée par la profusion de personnages ! Moi qui trouve avoir fait beaucoup dans ma dernière peinture, je suis bien loin du compte !... sourire !
J'aime beaucoup cette scène.
Gros bisous et bon weekend.
I hope you are feeling better.
DeleteThank you so much for visiting and reviewing my recent work..
And as always thank you for the kisses..
What a sad story you told us, Anthony....
ReplyDeleteThe backstory. A history for the story to come. Are these not often sad?
ReplyDeleteI feel a little guilty, enjoying too much coming up with theses images…☺
I looked, I saw Holocaust....misery and hopelessness yet i find the beauty you draw in every painful line...
ReplyDeleteThere have been so many with different names, different excuses all tied to control and greed. A history unavoidable when a story includes so many years..
DeleteThank you
Oh Anthony...there is so much suffering...too much suffering, I can almost feel it.
ReplyDeleteAm clinging to the hope that there may yet be a happy conclusion. But then even the memories would continue to be painful, wouldn't they?
Yes, ancestral fear would probably remain in the psyches of the victims for many generations to come.
So sad. Such powerful, haunting images...I will never forget.
A masterpiece of mythic proportions...breath-taking, yet so beautiful...:)
Our histories are all filled with versions of this sort of suffering. It is sad. Maybe if these moments in history weren’t so soon forgotten, they would happen less frequently.
